Stirring Spirit Ministries

​

A  non-denominational organization established on March 7th 2017 by founders: Dr. Kelli Kennedy ND and Daniel Stapleford. Our unique life experiences have combined into a spiritual vision (to “stir the spirit”) and a physical vision of a sacred space where many inspired ideas can be made manifest.

A Sacred Space (10+ acres is needed to fulfill the vision)

This land must be suitable for peaceful wooded walks, self-sustaining farming, summer camp, personal retreats, Quaker worship group, indoor and outdoor classrooms. The land is going to be provided and with our hard work and our faith in God it will be the perfect space and the funds/land needed will come to fruition. This is a vision.
